JOHN G. JONES AND HAYWOOD G. DEWEY, OF

ROCHESTER, YORK, ABSIGNORS TO EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, A. CORPORATION OF NEW PHOTOGBAPHIO-I'ILR-OABTRIDGE-8EALIN G MACHINE- YORK.

Application filed Hay. -18, 1923. Serial Ho. 640,262.

This invention relates to paster-applying machines and particularly to machines for automatically applying the outside paster,

bands to spools or cartridges of photographic 6 film. It has for its object to provide a machine which will" receive the completely wound film cartridge, hold the convolutions against unwinding, feed out a paster band, cut oil the paster, carry it over to the film cartridge and ress it firmly into contact on the cartridge, nally dropping the cartridge in a box or other receptacle. Another objectis to'accomplish these ste s without attention from an operator. Anot er object is to make 16 a uniform] completed product, and other objects will appear hereinafter, the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.

This machine is particularly adapted for use as one of the units of an automatic film spooling lathe, such as is shown in our ap-- p'lication, Serial No. 642,398, filed May 31, 1923, by John G. Jones and HaywoodG. Dewey, or 'in connection with a semi-automatic film spoofing-machine such as is shown in pending application, Serial No. 516,229 of John G. Jones, filed November 18, 1921.

This machine is especially designed to pick up a. spool upon which convolutions of film, paper and sometimes carbon paper are wound into what is commercially known as a photographic film cartridge, and apply to it an outside paster band which is a strip of adhesive coated paper used to hold the end of the backin paper from unwindi As indicated by letters A and B, Eigf film cartridge 1 may be received from a supply mechanism at some point between these stations by one of the pairs of jaws 2. As all of these are the same, onl one will be descrlbed. The jaws are all mounted on a rotor 3 carried b the sleeve shaft 4 mounted to turn freely :1 out shaft 5 (Fig. 5). The pair of jaws 2 consists of a fixed jaw 6 and a movable jaw 7, hinged at 8 to the first aw, and having a spring 9. tending to hold them together as shown in ig. 2. As shown in Fig. 5 the jaws are mounted in pairs indicatell at 7 and 7 to grasp the ends of the cartridge 1. These jaws automatically engage a cartridge placed in their path. A tall 10 is provided'on jaw 7 to strike a trip bar 11, thus dropping thespool 1 into a guideway 12 which directs it into a box 13 molyfid into place by an endless belt 14.

e P, Fig. 2, at which place arm 16 picks up the conditioned paster from table 17 and laces it on the spool,where it is held by olding finger 18 until smoothed and ressed about .the spool'by rollers 19, whi form wrap ing members which cause the pastor pastor band 15 is applied at station is fed by the following mechanism: Suitable power is ap lied to constant] rotate bevel gear 20 an withit shaft 2 bevel gears 22' and 23, shaft 24 and the Geneva gear 26 thus periodically turns sleeve shaft 4 and with'it rotorB and sprocket 27 (Fig. .5 Sprocket: 27 through chain 28 and sproc et29 turns shaft 30 to which is afllx'ed the pastor moving drum 31. The pester 15 is'drawn from a roll 32 over guide Geneva moveof pm 25 and Geneva gear to a roller 36 which is driven by pinion 36' meshing with a gear 40 on shaft 30. This roller, 36 is mounted on an eccenhaving an operating handle arm 81 trio shaft 41 which can be moved by handle 42 for separating rollers 36 and 31 for convenience in threading. A second roller 43 carried by arm 44 pivoted at 45 to frame 46 is normally held against the roller b spring 47. The strip then passes beneath a guide 48' to a knife 48 carried by rod 49 slidably mounted in a bearing 50.

The knife is periodically actuated b the mechanism shown in Fig. 8. Disk 55 has a cam slot 54 in which roller 53 travels, this roller being carried by a lever 56 freely movable about sleeve shaft 4 on bearing52, and

which periodically moves rod 49 through pin 51. An arm 58 under the influence of spring 59 attached at 60 to the frame tends to turn rod 49 tokeep the knife 48 against the cutting edge 61 in the usual manner. Cam 55 is mounted upon and driven by shaft 24. The timingl of this cam is illustrated graphicall in t e chart, Fig. 14, where, in column III the movement of this chopper is shown in its relation with the other parts to be later described.

When paster 15 is fed beneath the knife it passes out upon a guide 62 over a roller 63, (Figs. 10 and 11) which is preferabl of elt, being suspended in the tank 64 y a shaft 65 carried in bearings 66 and 67 This tank is removably held upon the frame 6 by screws 68 and has a cover 69 hinged at 70 71 to cover the end of the tank for'filling. Shaft 65 has a post gear 72 which meshes with a second gear 73 of the same kind, and which is mounted on shaft 74, driven throu h gears 37, 35, 34 and 38 from shaft 30 51g. 2). Obviously the moistenin roller moves only when the measuring rol 31 moves so that its movement is shown with that of the pastor rollin column VIII of the chart, Fig. 14. As the roller 63 turns it moistens the water adhesive surface 75 of the paster.

From chart, Fig. 14, it will be seen that the pastor roll 31 (column VIII) feeds out the aster and after it stops feeding the need e arm 1.6 (column II) is lowered upon pastor 15 holding it still while the chopper (column III) functions.

The movements of this needle arm 16 will now be described. Referring to. Fi 3, needle arm 16 is mounted upon a sha 76 free to turn and slide in a bearing on the inside of sleeve shaft 86, which is carried by bear ing 77 of the. main frame 46. r

The up-and-down movement of arm 16 is secured by the mechanism best shown in igs. 1, 8 and 6 and consists of scam disk 78 ving a cam sl0t79 in which a roller80 travels, the roller being carried by a lever fulcrumed at 82 to theframe and being ivoted at 83 to link 84, which is pivoted at t W a r ker are W be a s eve is clear] are, in this form,

shaft 86 surroundin andturning upon shaft 76. The sleeve sha 86 turns in bearing 77 and carries at one end 87 a bracket 88 to which a pin 89 is affixed. This pin extends throu h an a erture 90 in arm 16, being slidab e theret rough. Sleeve shaft 86 does not slide through bearing 77, but merel turns in it. It does however, permit sha t 76 to slide through t e sleeve as well as turn in it. It is obvious that as cam disk 78 is rotated by shaft 24, shaft 76 will be raised and lowered. In column II of the chart, Fig. 14, the movement of the needle arm 16 shown.

The ack-and-forth movement of shaft 76, necessary to cause the needle arm 16 to.

pick u paster 15' and carry it across from table 1 to the cartridge held by a air of jaws 6-7, is actuated as follows: Smft 76 is movable longitudinally in bearing 86 (which is a sleeve shaft carried by bearing 77 of the frame) so as to more arm 16 bac and forth upon pin 89 between the positions shown in dashed and full lines Fig. 9. Needle arm 16 is fastened to shaft 7 6hy thumb screw 186 which holds the base 187 against pin 188. .At the opposite end of arm 16 are two spaced heads 189 and 190, each carrying needle points 191, which enga e and hold pastor 15. Shaft 76 carries a hea 92 free to turn between washer 93 and washer 94, the head 92 having pins 95, extending to each side. These pins are engaged by a yoke 96 of lever 97 pivoted to the frame at 98 and carrying a roller 99 engaging cam slot 100 of cum disk 101 mountedto turn with shaft 24. As shown inFig. 14, this, the transfer drum, gives a movement diagrammatically shown in column VI.

After having moved pastor 15 by needle arm 16 into contact witha cartridge (Fig. 9) it is necessary to hold the'paster against the cartridge while the needle arm 16 leaves. This is done by a holding finger 18. As there six of these and all alike. one will be described in detail. Finger 18 is on the end of a bell-crank lever 103 pivoted at 104 to the rotor 3and havin a roller 105 contactin with cam 106 keys to shaft 5. This sha t does not rotate, but is merely rocked by means of arm 107 having a roller 108 following the cam slot 1090f disk 11 inned to shaft 24. Thus, as may be seen om Fig. 4, cam 106 is eriodically oscillated in such timed relation with rotor 3 thata finger 18 asses the loading stat-ion and then is turned back between the spaced .heads 189 and 190 of needle arm 16, (dashed Ill) are 19-19 contact with pastor 15 i 45 ,length of sticker, ban is to paster,'-but the feeding means for the 'carfi recess 4).
